Fractional CTO leadership for wealth-tech, health-tech and financial start-ups
Navigating regulation while building innovative products is difficult. As a fractional CTO, I help founders in regulated sectors translate vision into reality.
We design your product roadmap, recruit your engineering team and integrate privacy‑preserving AI and SOC 2 compliance so you can raise capital with confidence.
Delivery confidence
Launching quickly shouldn’t mean deploying without confidence. I design lightweight, resilient delivery pipelines and add guardrails only where they earn their keep. You get repeatable deployments with fewer rollbacks or hidden dependencies, so you can iterate fast without chaos.
Compliance readiness
Audits shouldn’t grind you to a halt. I bake access control, audit logs, separation of duty and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) into your system design from day one. That makes you SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 compliant-not post‑hoc audit‑ready.
Cloud cost control
Unmanaged spend blows early runs. I map your Azure usage, enforce tagging, set budgets and enable cost‑alerting so you operate with bank‑level control at start‑up speed. You stay lean without sacrificing scale.
​
I built secure, scalable systems for one of Azure’s largest estates and now apply that experience to lean start‑ups—bank‑scale safety, start‑up speed.
​
I’ve guided founders shipping under pressure and delivered audit‑happy infrastructure without slowing teams down. That founder empathy ensures I lead technology where it’s needed—not for titles.
​
I integrate compliance as part of the build: access control, audit logs, separation of duty and PIM form the design, so compliance isn’t risky work at 1.5× velocity.
Need trustworthy AI? I design privacy‑first, compliant and scalable AI infrastructure using OpenAI backends, vector databases, secure defaults and cost‑aware controls—built to scale under regulation.
